What's the Dinosour Jr and Alien Workshop Connection?

Interesting interview with J. Mascis by some dude named Zac.

See it all at http://www.caughtinthecrossfire.com/music/interviews/99


Skateboarding and Dinosaur Jr always went hand in hand and still do in the naughties, why is that?

I dunno, I have no idea! We went to LA on the Bug tour and there were all these skaters everywhere. We met Neil Blender and some other guys and I always let them use the music and stuff.

So are you proud to be associated with skateboarding then?

Yeah I guess, sometimes I even get sent t-shirts and skateboards here!

Did you ever skate back in the day?

Yeah, mostly we would skate quarter pipes, 8 foot high ramps and stuff....

I mean this was long ago now.



Do you remember what your first board was?

My first skateboard was a Flight.they were like this company that ripped off Alva, I had Mid Tracks and red Kriptonics 65's..until my Dad gave it away.

Neil Blender did some art for you, do you remember which sleeves?

Yeah....he's done several record covers for me like Without a Sound, J.Mascis and The Fog, Leaving on a Jet Plane 7", and the back cover of another one.

Have you seen any recent skateboarding? What are your thoughts on it?

I see various stuff from Alien Workshop as Neil Blender sends me stuff. It's cool I guess.

So good.

Bill Danforth's Shoes for Sale?



WTF. It's insane how much people are paying for old skate boards! I just can't encourage people to spend a bunch of money on a skateboard that will never be ridden! What I find most interesting is that the old pros are getting in on the action. Shouldn't that be a clear indication that these things have little actual value!


That said, I am pretty geeked by these, they have to be the rarest of the rare?

And, I guess it's cool that Dan is actually selling these himself.
And, they are my size after all.

Todd Congelliere had street skills too.

Saw this posted on Good Problem. Happy to know someone else still appreciates Todd's style.



Glad I bought my reissue of Todd's "Icee Bear" deck when I did. Looks like they are no longer available.

Brooke Run, Georgia Bowl Riders.







Well the contest was postponed due to rain.
But it turned out to be a great day to hang out in the parking lot and talk sh*t.

I'm Geeked.

25mm Lens=Self Portraits at 7am.

Put it in your pocket and always have it with you=random photos while riding shotgun.


I'm geeked, I found a Panasonic FX35 "Demo" through B&H photo. That means "open box special".

Which means I'm broke now, but I have a camera I can put in my pocket and take EVERYWHERE I go.

Oh yes, this ought to be fun.

34 Seconds into the video Steve is skating my old stomping grounds.
That set of stairs gave me more sprained ankles then I care to remember.
The "Wendy's Gap" is also in my home town and is insane...

Natas was the best.

PVC was always a struggle to slide.

Check out the launch ramp rail slide at 58 seconds in.





By the way, I know I've been slacking and haven't posted one damn photograph of my own in quite sometime.


I promise fun and festive photos after the July 4th holiday weedend.
